The Book of Acts is vital not only for its vivid historical record, but also for the inspiration which it brings to us now. Today's church can seek to recapture something of the early confidence, enthusiasm, vision and power of the church of the first century. Despite all its imperfections and troubles, the young church clearly had been overwhelmed by the Holy Spirit, who thrust it out to witness.
The experiences of the early church have lots to say about issues that concern Christians today. What can Acts tell us about extraordinary manifestations of the Spirit? How should churches structure themselves - with elders, deacons, pastors or all three? And, of course, how should the church reach out into a lost world, with the glorious message of salvation?
As John Stott concludes: 'The Acts of the Apostles have long ago finished: the acts of the followers of Jesus will continue until the end of the world.'

This is a must read.
This book is very encouraging, sharing how God is working in the Middle east, growing His Kingdom . It is also very challenging to Christian women( and men too, I am sure) in the relative comfort of the West, as to our degree of passion, love and concern for our unsaved friends and neighbours.

Excellent and helpful book
Our Staff team has been reading this book together and has found it so helpful. It's great at defining what a team leader is and isn't and what they should be doing. It's been great for us as area leaders to read it in order to help our team leaders understand their role. I'd like to give one to everyone in my ministry teams so that everyone, not just the team leader, understands the role. I've also loved that it is written by someone in an Australian church so we don't need to translate it to what it might look like for us in Australia.
